The Youngest Christmas Shoppers
The Startling , Sizzling ,
Say-It-Like-It-Is Sixties
From the simple melodies of the
Mitch Miller Sing-A-Longi through the
hectic sounds of the Beatles to the
mournful rattle of the drums on that
gray November day, most Americans
danced in the stimulating sixties to the
music of the drums they heard. Many
were not always in time with the
music or in step with the other danc
ers.
See-through blouses w*re said to be
a hazzard, but to whom wsrf not ever
fully explained. Rock festivals were
mostly for music, turn-ons and free
love. Few rocks were in attendance
but some would claim there were'
plenty -all in the heads of the behold
:ers. i

Cotton Transfer
Farm operators in Franklin County
-were reminded today that applications
? for the transfer of cotton allotments
'for the 1970 crop should be filed no
later than December 31, 1969.
B. T. Bunn, Chairman, Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation County
Committee, explains that notices of
the cotton allotment and the projected
yield for individual farms have already
been mailed to county farmers, so
farm operators now are in position to
make their production plans for next
season.
In Franklin County, growers voting
in a special Referendum last year ap
proved transfer of acreage allotments
by sale or leaae -out of the county, so
the transfer of allotments locally may
be made from one farm to another
within the state. In no case may
allotments be transferred to another
farm outside the state.
The December 31, 1969, deadline,
therefore, applies to all transfers of
1970 cotton allotments for Franklin
County farms- whether by sale, lease,
or owner. For 1970 cotton acreage
may be transferred to any farm. In
prior years the receiving farm had to
have a cotton allotment.
